I am doing a valve job on my 1974 3.0CS. In the process, we of course removed the head, but we took almost everything inside the engine bay off to clean, check for rust and fully repaint, add new decals, new noise suppresion material from Wurth, etc. We are still at that.
My question now is how to detail the engine properly.
I read that engine blocks were painted in semi-gloss black... which I am hoping is correct. I am also assuming that aluminum components are just plain (but please let me know otherwise).
What about engine hardware? Are the nuts and bolts galvanized? Were they done in silver or in golden color?
What about linkages, rods and ends? Oil dipstick?
Can anybody shed some light on these things?
I searched the list with no luck on these things, but if there is a link to the info, I would appreciate if somebody can post it.
Thanks,
victor
